Built a watch of my own
Collecting them eventually turned into making one.
In December 2024, I built this green-dial GMT watch myself. A new way to spend far too long looking at small parts.
I used to repair iPhones and Macs as a Genius at Apple. I hadn’t quite scratched that itch for tiny parts and screws since leaving, until I started making watches.
The build tutorial linked below helped me get started. Credit where it’s due—and the rest of my watch collection is here.
